Monitoring and Investigating Human Rights Abuses in Armed Conflicts

---

The booklet starts with a look at monitoring in the context of armed conflict and examines what general information is required to prepare for fact-finding in situations of armed conflict. This is followed by an overview of what sorts of abuses occur in armed conflict and some ideas on how to investigate and verify information relating to each of these specific incidents. The Annexes contain relevant extracts from international and regional human rights law and
international humanitarian law. These can be used to clarify the legal basis for investigating, documenting and taking
action on abuses.. Throughout this text,the term “violation” is used in the same way that Amnesty International and UN use the term. It refers specifically to a clear breach of international human rights law which is formally binding on governments. The term “abuse” is a more general term, which includes reference to the breaking of international humanitarian law by any party in a conflict.
